The Sporting News' Gerry Fraley looks at some story lines for the 51st Caribbean World Series which gets under way Monday from Mexicali, Mexico -- with all 12 games televised live on MLB network this week.

The catcher for Puerto Rico's Ponce is 14-time All-Star Ivan Rodriguez, 37, who is still looking for a big-league job after playing for the Tigers and Yankees last season.

Ponce's manager is former Angels first-round draft choice Eduardo Perez (pictured). Perez, 39, is the son of Hall of Fame infielder Tony Perez, and played in the major leagues from 1993-2006, including 119 games as an Angel.
